Lottery Tickets Furnish a Wed.
ding Outfit.

PORTLAND, Me-, Oct. 19.-South
Portland, just across the harbor, is
all agog over bit of romance. For
months Louisiana State Lottery
tickets have been extensively dealt
out here, and a few persons have had
windfalls of fortune. A young man
nemed Cole and his betrothed, Miss
jackson, in somewhat poor c:scum
stances, concluded to try their luck,
and each paid fifty cents for one
tenth of whole ticket. At the DC
tober drawing they found, by read
ing the schedule Of winning tickets,
that theirs had drawn $4,000. IL is
understood that their wedding cards
are now IN the hands of the printer,

catch or take. The farmer not only
does not suffer for these periods Of
relaxation but is injured TO some ex
tent. This is especially true in an
all cotton country like ours. Every
observant man has noticed that after
crops are '.laid by" in The summer
there comes a period Of about two
months when most farmers seem to
think they have nothing special to
do, and it is curious coincidence IL
not consequence, teat this is a period
which most sickness prevti,s. The
relaxation of the system consequent
upon a sudden cessation Of active
toll, and assumption of habits Of
comparative Incidence, must cause
indigestion and disordered condition
of the system, thereby making Of il
more liable to suffer from attacks Of
disease. Thus we see that sound
| physical reasons can be urged
against this custom. Again there is
moral loss, man actively engaged
does not find the time TO sit around
discussing his neighbors' affairs, or
airing his own particular grievances.
ldleness is one of the strongest
weapons that can be put in the
hands of Satan, and busy man is
much less liable TO form habits of in
temperance, untruthfulness or i'm
morality Of any kind thaa an idle
one.
Take the two seasons of the year
at which the farmer loses most time.
late summer aud late winter. The
first is the best time for the extirpa.
tion of noxions weeds, cleaning up
fence rows, cutting down sprouts
and such like work. The latter Is
the season for preparation for the
next crop, sowing oats, winter pillow
ing, burning brush, making rails and
numerous jobs that are essential to
the proper conduct of well ordered
farm. Thus there are good financ
ial, physical and moral reasons why
farmers should prefer steady, pa.
tient, industry to fitful seasons of
very hard labor alternated with sea
sons of almost complete cessation
from labor. Such change in the
habits of our people whuld be worth
five millions OF dollars yearly to the
State.

The Farmers Candle Being
Burned at Both Ends.

We have taken the pains to make
detailed calculation of the yield OF
cotton in pounds per acre IN each
wear OF the ten beginning with 1877
and ending with 1887 The average
yield per acre in the last five years
of this decade has been TIA pounds,
and the average yield of the preced-
ing five years was 205 pounds.
Here is a loss of 81 pounds to the
acre, or about Is per cent. The
profit, if at the same average price
in 1882 81 as in 1S77-S2, would have
been, therefore, Is per cent. to the
acre and the hand, but the price has
also declined about "a per cent, so
the commercial situation has been
injured very seriously.
In the four years of lS77-S1 the
average yield per acre was 194
pounds, but the average of the last
years was 1872 pounds, or loss Of ~
pounds per acre per annum, or l6l 2
per. cent.
The explanation of this unpleas
ant phenomenon which means q
comparative waste both of capital
and labor, is to be found largely in
the distressing diminution of the
profits on former cultivation, which
gives rise to the general effect to
make up in quantity for the def.
cheney in price. 1t, for instance, re.

bales of cotton to bring the farmer
